it was a year ago today that I fell into the pond…

I must say that I am still very careful when I walk around the edges of it…

wonder how long it will be before I am not so deliberate about moving in that area…

I can still feel the shock… and now I laugh when I think how I pulled my phone out of my back pocket, in the water, and dried it on my shirt even before trying to get out🤪…

the other memory involved the huge bruises that came up across my breasts days later from where I hit the waterfall rock… although they were a beautiful shade of purple… apparently I really hit it hard, lol…

brought in the garbage and recycling bins yesterday afternoon…

while I was in the yard I changed out the broken bird feeder with a purple one that was in the garage…

I also filled all the feeders…

then I took a few photos of the new planter that is now sitting at the front door;-)…

it looks great…

so happy that my salt mill has been replaced… it stopped working a few weeks ago and I took it apart to see if I could fix it… wasn’t possible…

a bit difficult because I only have coarse salt so seasoning was troublesome…

eventually, I emptied the pepper mill and filled it with salt… for a few days it produced salt and pepper together, lol…

of course, then I couldn’t use pepper…

finally my grandson was able to pick up a replacement for me…

so happy to have salt and pepper available now;-)…

accidents…

had a couple of accidents recently…

a few weeks ago this happened…

I was opening a cupboard and this tiny vase fell out and broke… it was made for a single bloom and I really enjoyed it… sadly I can’t even remember where it came from so won’t be able to replace it…

the second oopsie is due mainly to laziness I think… I didn’t empty the rain barrel before the weather changed and the water inside froze and now it is trashed…

pretty sure we aren’t going to be able to fix this, sigh… and it had taken so long to find one that I liked… 

because it is all one piece don’t even think I can use it for anything else…

will need to be careful in the Fall with whatever I replace it with…

but I am excited that the weather is warming up and before long we’ll be sitting out in the garden…

clean…

started the day with a visit to the dentist for a filling… had a cleaning done a couple of weeks ago…

  
went very well… probably the most relaxed I’ve been during a procedure for a very long time… not sure if it is because I am getting older, or actually able to relax better, lol…

when I arrived home the cleaners were just finishing up…

  
love how great it looks once they are done… pictures show what an overcast and dull day it was…

  
living room is ready for company tonight…

took the time to replace a tile which I broke yesterday when I was getting a bowl down for dinner… I had foolishly put one bowl under another and when I took off the top one, the second one flew out and hit the tile before crashing to the floor…

  
bits and pieces when I got them out…

  
lucky for me we had a few spare tiles so it was easy to pick up the bits and put down a new one…

  
the broken bowl was a beautiful heavy purple and blue one which held the heat nicely, sigh… oh well, it was my own fault…

woke up to this…

  
part way through the night the wind finally died down… apparently it was gusting into the 90 km per hour range at the airport, which is close to where I live… the whole house shook for a good part of the evening… didn’t really sleep well until it slowed down…

cold with a bit of wind during the day, but eventually the sun came out and melted the majority of the snow…

my daughter and the little boys came over for supper and she helped me put the swing back on its feet… sadly one of the spokes on the umbrella part of it broke, so we will have to see about getting that repaired…

 
the ground is covered with elm seeds, leaves, twigs and small branches that have come down… good news is that the tree stayed right where it was supposed to…

didn’t get out today but had a good walk on the treadmill…

had a fun time taking a few shots of the lobelia… I do love the flowers and enjoy taking the pictures…

had a very poor sleep last night… when I got up I started the day with a hot tub…

20140622-195524-71724240.jpgafter a shower I sat out in the garden and read and thought about doing a bit of weeding…

designed and printed a birthday card for my grandson, which I was able to do from my chair in the garden, thanks to some of the work of my son-in-law when they were here last weekend…

was just thinking about making something to eat when my daughter texted to let me know she was at the hospital with a possible broken foot…

spent the next three hours with her in Emergency…

20140622-200238-72158166.jpgshe was right, it was broken and they put a splint on it… we made it to their house for the birthday party with an hour to spare…

helped with the party and got a ride home and am now heading for bed… the day didn’t turn out quite as planned or expected…
